How Should a Boutique Hotel or Premium Homestay Plan Indoor Fragrance?
SOSA · boutique hotels and homestays
A signature arrival, and a choice in every room
Guests remember how a property smells when they walk in. In their own room, they want to choose.

The short answer
Scent the arrival lounge or reception with Vaayu, if it fits its range. Make guest-room fragrance optional: offer Pawan on request, or have housekeeping switch it off for guests who prefer none. Deal with damp, smoke and linen smells at source, and plan refills by actual occupancy.
Plan it
Six steps
- Arrival and rooms. Vaayu in the arrival lounge. Pawan as an option in guest rooms.
- Guest choice. Note fragrance-free requests at booking and switch machines off before arrival.
- Measure each space. Lounges and rooms are planned separately.
- Fix odours at source. Damp, smoke and stored linen first. Fragrance never covers them for long.
- Housekeeping routine. Add a simple check to turnover: setting, oil level and guest preference.
- Refills by occupancy. Track actual use across busy and quiet months.
Pawan or Vaayu?
Choose by the space, not the label
A flat size or a room name is only a starting point. Layout, ceiling height, airflow and closed doors decide what a space really needs.
Pawan: one room
One room of up to about 500 sq ft: a bedroom, study, cabin or small living room. It plugs into the wall, runs silently and is set from the SOSA app.
Vaayu: a connected space
One open, connected space of up to 1000 m³, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft depending on ceiling height. It schedules by day, run window and intensity.
Closed doors count
A room you keep closed is its own space. One Vaayu will not reach behind a shut bedroom door, so a closed room usually needs its own Pawan.

Questions
Before you choose
Should every guest room be scented?
No. Offer it as an option and keep rooms unscented for guests who ask.
Can it be switched off for one person?
Yes. Pawan is switched from the SOSA app, and Vaayu’s schedule and intensity can be changed or paused at any time.
Do you offer a signature scent?
Talk to us about a custom signature oil and volume pricing for your property.
Are they noisy?
No. Pawan is silent in use, and Vaayu runs at under 38 dB, quiet enough for a bedroom, clinic or office.
